Re: Question About 16th Century Haron/RedBox/Etc. Sets

Me too. :sunglasses:

Re: Question About 16th Century Haron/RedBox/Etc. Sets

I agree with most of what has been said. As was alluded to, the stick-in-the-mud traditionalism of both Cossack and Turkish dress makes them useful on every side over multiple centuries. This era, as are the sets for the 18th century, is of special interest to me. Red Box has produced a beautiful and expansive series of sets covering the big conflicts of the 16th century. Their willingness to create several sets covering different segments of various armies, etc. is very appreciated. Any time a company covers a topic deeply, with many sets, creates an interest for collectors, who wait excitedly for the next one to come out on the market. We have to have it to add to our collection. Witness the latest arrival of the Dutch (THANK YOU STRELETS!) for the WSS series. I was disappointed at the gaps that both Zvesda and Revell left in some of their beautifully done series. Not only for their constantly evolving quality but also for their willingness to deeply cover an historic period, I put both Strelets and Red Box at the top of their art. I also love some of the Orion sets. I happen to like both their Cossack and Turkish figures for this period, and when you add both Zvesda's and Orion's Winged Hussars to the above mix, you have more for your Cossacks and Turks to do.
So, would someone PLEASE create some sets of Tartars Hungarians and better Polish infantry/artillery for this period? And please do a series on the American Revolution, with all of its components. I wait with bated breath.
